Auto cell phones safety

Distracted driving and the law

According to the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA), eight out of every 10 collisions are caused by driver distractions, and cell phones have proven to be one of the largest distractions to drivers.

In Ontario it’s now illegal for drivers to talk, text, type, dial or email using hand-held cell phones and other hand-held communications and entertainment devices. The law also prohibits drivers from viewing display screens while driving, such as laptops or DVD players, that are unrelated to driving.
